i. 8/20-21: out of sight, out of mind

[ On the morning/noon of the 20th, you can catch Terry standing in random places in Hirajiro, turning his head this and that way as if looking for something. His cat family of five keep following him and stopping when he stops. Maybe you saw him loop over several times. What's up with that? He also has a plastic bag hung over his arm where he grabs a breakfast bar and munches on it. How long has he been munching on that? How many does he even have in that bag? itsamystery.jpg.... Maybe you'll find him sitting on the bench with several cat toys, playing with the cats and several other strays with a fishing rod toy while Ami, the mother cat, watches her children play while resting on the bench with Terry. One of the kittens trot away from the group and it doesn't look like Terry realizes it, but that one kitten will be going up to you and pawing your foot... and then sits on your shoe.

On the 21st, if you're bumming in the Velvet Room like Terry is or happened to come to ask the attendants something, you'll see Terry sitting in the lounge with his feet up on the footrest while on the couch. He's been here for a while now, so the entire lounge now smells like cinnamon. You're welcome. He's working on playing cat's cradle by himself, but he keeps messing up, even the easy parts for some reason. Looks like it's hard to play when you're blind. Due to frustration, he squishes the bundle of string in his hands and throws it in a seemingly random direction, but that's gonna hit you in the face if you don't move. He's still eating breakfast bars to satiate his junk food appetite. Someone put him out of his misery.

ii. 8/21-31: a variant of endless mode in dungeon crawling

[ On the 21st, Terry is only sticking to the first floor. It doesn't look like he's afflicted with blindness because he's sending Vassago this way and that to kill everything on sight--not to mention that he's striking down incoming divebombing Ravens like it's nothing with his bare hands, killing them on impact with the floor. He only grabs the loot every now and then though, as opposed to every single time they drop something.

The rest of the nights until August ends, Terry is in full force, punting Shadows despite their resistances to get them away, killing Ravens, having Vassago take care of the ones he sent flying like a kickball--there seems to be no end to the number of Shadows, but it looks like Terry's going on strong despite that. However, on the 27 and 28th, it looks like he's extremely tired and a bit irritable, but he's still pushing himself anyway, because that's who he is. It's what he does. There doesn't seem to be any stopping to Vassago's killing spree either, due to his Life Aid passive that heals him every time a battle is finished. Combined that with Life Drain and Vassago can go on forever. Terry is definitely collecting all the loot that that happens to drop, except... the onmoraki scroll on occasion. He feels like he has enough of those, so he just chucks it over his shoulder and might hit your character or their Persona. Have fun getting something stinky hit your face, but hey--you might need it for Minato's quest.

iii. 8/20 night: 99 bottles of beer on the wall cw: for alcohol consumption and just being drunk in general

[ The cats wait outside. Terry is at a bar for once in his life. He's never been in one before, but he did have experience drinking. However, that's when he had his body filter. He doesn't have that in Hirajiro (and probably won't for a long time). So when he turns 21 on the 20th, he figures that he should experience going to a bar today. So he does.

Maybe you're also at the bar for some reason, whether you're of the legal age to drink or not. The bar serves all kinds of drinks there, including underage-friendly stuff. Maybe you're staring at Terry as he downs the entire glass in one go. Maybe you just came out of a Velvet Room portal after dealing with the Attendants and see a bar fight unfold before your eyes in which a blind dude completely owns someone by merely smacking them to the ground with accurate precision.

Anyway, there's a lot of ways you go about this prompt, but the bottom line is that Terry is going to drink a lot and is going to get drunk. Have fun...

iv. 8/22-26 afternoons: I'll give them shelter like you've done for me

[ When you're somewhere in the forest outskirts close to town, you might hear a melody play on loop. If you decide to follow the music, you'll find Terry lying on the forest floor, stomach down, with a bunch of crows perching on his head and back while the cat family curls up a little away from him, but still within distance. The source of the music is a small music box that doesn't seem to have an ending to the tune. It just plays forever.

Though when you approach him, he easily stirs awake because he's normally a light sleeper.

Mm...? Who's there?


wildcard all of August

[ tl;dr Terry lost his sight during 8/19-21, has an urge to continuously eat junk food during 8/19-25, working without pay at the maid cafe during 8/22-28 for full 8-hour shifts and have a flock of crows follow him, and then he's unable to sleep for the nights of 8/27-28. As you can see, he's going to be insanely tired by the end of the month... lmao. Everything happens so much in Cetana. You can also hit him up for his location services any time during August if your character needs to find something or just want to chat with Terry while he's at the market street stall. Basically, if you need anything from Terry during August, this is the post to do it.

Anyway, this is a catch-all log for Terry! You can keep picking wildcard prompts throughout August if that's how you want to roll, or pick any or all these prompts. I don't care. Go wild. I'm always hungry for more threads. Hit me up at [plurk.com profile] celenza or PM if you have any questions!
